Is there any progress on having the capability to have additional servers in a cluster? Is this something that is being worked on at all? Please lets be honest, if it's not in development let us know.

Yes just use an FTP client, I normally use WinSCP.

Yes you have to add extra levels manually in the config. If you've done that and it didn't work, in relation to The Island ascension, then it may work now if you update to the latest patch: https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/166421-pc-patch-notes-current-v2764/

This is a known issue since the map was expanded. https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/286913-spawn-level-problem-edit-sw-islands-only-apparently/ Will likely be fixed in the next Rag content update.

I have had the exact same issue and I have submitted a ticket (#270989). This is not the first time i've experienced problems with the Modify Server Config panel. It's easier to manually edit the INIs it seems.

I've heard from 3 different server owners now that the update option doesn't work. Any news on this? It's ok looking at individual servers that have the issue, but if it's widespread then that is a bigger issue.

It only says ??? until the server(s) a fully restarted. So if you stop the server then hit start, it will have version ??? until the servers are fully running which may take a few minutes. Normally after that if you refresh the page it will show you the current version.

I've experienced this issue myself and I have an easy solution that prevents any need for rollback and simply requires the Admin to handle Wild Dino Wipe slightly differently. I use RCON for when I do stuff like this, but it doesn't make any difference if you do the commands ingame. This is what I do. I back-up my saved folder prior to doing dino wipe, I do daily manual back-ups anyway for my piece of mind. I then do Wild Dino Wipe. Immediately after I do another Save World via RCON. The dino wipe will most likely cause the server to hang after a few minutes, please note that the server may appear to lose connection when it hangs, but it doesn't fully crash (not for me anyway), and if I leave it for a short period the connection will re-establish with no requirement to restart the server. Then everything will be fine. The reason you are getting a rollback is because you are manually restarting the server and therefore it will restart using the most recent save file which is likely to be a little old anywhere upto an hour. If you leave the server for at least 10 minutes or so after doing wild dino wipe then you should be able to get on with no problems and no rollback.

I think the confusion here is pretty simple, the reason the ticket doesn't exist is because the ticket is not one made on SurvivalServers because the servers he's talking about in the OP, Asia 120 Scorched Earth and EU 210 Ragnarok are both Official Servers. The OP is confused as to what this SurvivalServers forum is. He needs to use https://survivetheark.comwhere he originally created the support ticket.

Yes it was fixed in Patch 261. It's not that it wasn't showing correctly, it's that the icon was not displaying. The "me" never appears in your exact location, but there's another icon that does. This now displays.

What setting have you used to make it x6?

I'm not having this issue, enablecheats <password> works fine for me.

I believe you would have 2 separate servers both with their own expiry date. So your current server would display as expiring in October and the new one would be a year from when you buy it. Neither would have an impact on each other.

Ok, sorry this is where i get a little lost, and trying to simplify it in my head. So currently I have the following: SavedArkXXXXX (This has the Center on and is the parent server) SavedArkXXXXXTransfer (This has the Island on it). So if I backed up the content of those folders (lets say via FTP), then shut down the server, then in the control panel I changed maps, so the parent would have Island and the other would have Center, would it be a case of me then moving the backed up files from SavedArkXXXXXTransfer into the the SavedArkXXXXX folder and vice versa with the other one? It sounds too simple to me so I fear i'm missing something?

Apologies that my technical understanding of cluster servers is not great. I started off last December with a single server with the Center map. Later on I decided to add a cluster and now have the Island on the Cluster. So my understanding is that the parent server hosts the Center and the cluster hosts the Island. If my understanding is correct, is it possible to convert the Island to become the parent server and the Center to become the cluster? If it is possible would it mean a loss of all data?
